Your AI Agents Are Only As Good As Your Data | Harness Blog

Every agent demo follows the same arc. The agent calls an API. A deployment triggers. A ticket gets created. The audience is impressed. Then someone asks a real question: "Which regions had the highest order failure rate this quarter, and are any of them linked to vendor SLA breaches?" That question crosses four entity types — orders, fulfillment records, vendors, SLA contracts.

Building Governance, Auditability, and Visibility into Database DevOps | Harness Blog

Database changes are inherently complex: coordinating schema updates, managing risk, and avoiding downtime all require care. Even when teams improve how they deliver those changes, governance often remains inconsistent, manual, and reactive. In many environments, governance is treated as a separate layer around deployment. Policies are applied unevenly, approvals become bottlenecks, and audit evidence is assembled after the fact, creating gaps in enforcement and increasing operational risk.

Carbon emissions data at your fingertips

This post is also available in German and in French. Tracking environmental impact can be fragmented, time-consuming, and disconnected from operational data. Beyond simply checking ESG reporting boxes or making sure your company is CSRD compliant, actively monitoring environmental impact is the foundation for building an effective sustainability strategy. At Upsun, we know that measuring progress is the first step toward improvement.

The quiet problem underneath modern software delivery: database change at scale

Application delivery has accelerated over the last decade. Modern CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and cloud infrastructure have already raised the baseline. Now AI-assisted coding tools are compressing timelines further still - developers are writing and shipping code faster than ever.

Without RBAC for Agent Skills and MCP, your entire organization basically has root access to your company

Let me paint a picture. Your company has rolled out Claude or ChatGPT as the standard AI tool. You've connected MCPs to Stripe, your HRIS, Datadog, your CRM, and Slack. A senior engineer set this up because they needed to answer hard cross-system questions and it works beautifully. Now a marketing intern sits down, opens the same LLM harness with the same MCP config, and types "show me revenue by customer for the last 12 months." They get it.

(AusBiz) JFrog teams up with Nvidia to manage AI agents

AI agents are making real-time decisions inside enterprises right now; pulling code, accessing tools, executing tasks. But most businesses have zero visibility into what those agents are actually using. In this interview on @ausbizTV, Sunny Rao, SVP APAC at JFrog, explains why the governance gap is one of the biggest risks facing enterprises today; and how JFrog and NVIDIA are building the trust layer to fix it.

Hosted vs. self-hosted control planes

One of the first decisions teams face when adopting Konstruct is whether to run the control plane themselves or have it managed for them. While this can look like a simple deployment choice, it is really a question of operational responsibility, control, and how your platform needs to evolve over time. Both models exist to solve the same underlying problem: providing a consistent, GitOps-driven platform across teams and environments.
